Figure 3From: Activation of estrogen receptor β-dependent nitric oxide signaling mediates the hypotensive effects of estrogen in the rostral ventrolateral medulla of anesthetized ratsCardiovascular effects after microinjection bilaterally into the RVLM of ERα or ERβ agonist. Time-course of the changes in MSAP, HR and total power density of vasomotor components (0–0.8 Hz) of SAP spectrum in anaesthetized rats that received microinjection bilaterally into the RVLM (at time 0) of aCSF, DPN (1, 2 or 5 pmol), or PPT (5 pmol). Values are presented as mean ± S.E.M., n = 6–8 animals per experimental group. *P < 0.05 versus corresponding aCSF group in the Scheffé multiple range test.Back to article page
